Disappointment ....

....comes in many shapes and sizes. This morning I experienced the disappointment of losing a file in my computer that is important to me. It is a series of thoughts and observations concerning my dog.

(At this point you the reader have perhaps interrupted your reading to ponder why I have written observations concerning my dog. And I respond by saying that this dog has taught me much about life. And you respond by saying there are enough thoughts on dogs being published regularly; another is not needed. And I say if you only knew my dog you might disagree. And you say well what is so special about your dog? And I say THAT is the point! That is precisely why I was recording my thoughts about my dog to begin with! Now, if you will stop interrupting me, I can continue.....)

Quite a bit of work has gone into those writings. Now, POOF! they are gone! Auuuggghh.

Discouragement led me to think, "well, so much for those thoughts. I simply cannot put them back on paper (hahaha....old school for in the computer); I will never remember everything." But deep inside something said "Rubbish! yes you can do this." So who knows....I feel like that character in The Emperor's New Groove who had the little demon on one shoulder and the little angel on the other...."you can do it!" no you can't" "yes you can" "no you can't"....

We shall see. The we referring to you and me, not the demon and the angel.
